Simply fill the ball with pellets, treats or any of your bird's favorite items and watch your bird delight in rewarding play. Use your imagination in filling this durable treat dispenser and your bird will enjoy a different treat toy every day. 6" diameter x 6-1/2" high; 7" overall depth. Ideal for medium to large birds.

Slotted 3-1/2" ball twists open for filling and revolves around a stainless steel kabob to keep your bird guessing.

Cleaning Instructions: May be hand washed and is dishwasher safe. To clean the Cage Mount Buffet Ball, unlock the bolt at top of the ball and remove the ball from its stainless steel mounting kabob. Wash the ball, kabob and bottom tray with hot, soapy water, or place in the dishwasher. Rinse thoroughly and allow toys to dry completely before returning them to your bird's cage. Remember, variety is good, so change up the treats/shreddables you offer inside the ball frequently. It is a good idea to have two or more sets of toys so clean, dry ones can be quickly placed back in the cage while the other set dries. Discard any toy that does not come clean, is frayed, or is broken.

Installation Instructions: First install cage mounting bracket. To fill the Buffet Ball, press the pin in cap above the ball. Twist the halves counter clockwise. Add your choice of foods which might include pieces of fruit, nuts, veggies, or large pellets. Twist to close, slide over stainless steel rod and replace cap.

Most Durable Foraging Toy
I waited over six months before leaving this review. I have a Goffin's cockatoo, who likes to throw food about and demolish toys/foraging in his cage. At the time I purchased this, other foraging toys I purchased at the same time, were a failure. A large acrylic foraging wheel, designed as indestructible, met it's match in weeks, when placed into the cage! This toy has held up and my bird loves to eat from it. It is easy on me to remove and fill, dishwasher safe, and very durable against destructive birds. Larger food pieces must be used with this, as the slits are large (peanut sized items (with the shell)) and larger is recommended. Highly recommend this item. Great value!

Works great!
My conure loves the challenge this ball provides. I fill it up with Nutraberries and it takes him all week to eat them up. There is less waste and he is much quieter when he is "foraging" for his food. I think this is a wise investement.

Love it!
My Grey was wary of this one for about a day. He is now happily eating his favorite veggies from the buffet ball. The design is fantastic. It's super easy to refill. I'm not sure why others needed detailed instructions to fill it. The two sides of the ball simply unscrew. The filled ball is then placed on the rod and a small plastic piece easily attaches at the top to keep the ball from coming off. You just press a small button on the top piece to release it. Simple!

Great enrichment for birds!
My conure and cockatiels LOVE this foraging ball! They really enjoy foraging for food to shreadable toys I place inside it. It keeps them occupied for hours! Very happy parrots = a very happy me! It is easy to use and easy to clean up! It is also very durable, well worth the money spent on it.

I've had this toy for a while, and my Senegal likes it. But I can't get the ball open to clean it. I have removed the rod, per instructions. But I can't unscrew the top from the bottom of the ball no matter how hard I try.

Answer:

I have had trouble opening this ball as well -- if the threads get mis-alligned. my macaw, however seems to open it quite easily; simply by throwing it off the play top of his cage. I have had to twist it VERY tightly for him.
